HC Deb 08 May 1899 vol 71 c53
MR. CHANNING

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he has received any communications, and, if so, to what effect, from the authorities of Queen Charlotte's Hospital, the St. Pancras Workhouse, and other similar institutions to whom he has made representations, that the vaccination of infants within a few days of birth is undesirable and should be discontinued.

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.

The Local Government Board has been in further communication with the authorities of Queen Charlotte's Hospital with the view of giving effect to the views already expressed by the Board, but it has not been deemed necessary to make any further communication to the other authorities referred to.
